"This Spadina location is the jewel in the crown of the Toronto coffee chain. It’s a bright but rustic affair combining hardwood with exposed brick and punctuated by an ornate pressed tin counter front. It’s strictly an espresso scene so queue up for a flat white, cortado or plain old americano. Downstairs from a co-working space, it is home to digital nomads sipping the day away at laptops, office workers grabbing lunch and students checking social media accounts. If large work tables are not your jam, cozy up for a conversation in the intimate armchairs in the back." - Jacknife

This Dark Horse Expresso Bar location on Spadina Avenue certainly is certainly known for their house blends and with this first visit by us , we recognize the high quality of the staff, their very warm hospitality and warm welcoming…the atmosphere was quite pleasant and the smiles and laughter by the customers demonstrated people were have a very good time at this location..

I frequent this Dark Horse location, and it's great. They have great seating, on the main level and just up the stairs. Tons of space to come get some work done or hang out with friends. As for their drinks, I really enjoy their iced beverages. I normally get an iced vanilla latte with oat milk, iced mocha with lactose-free milk, or their iced elderberry hibiscus tea.

I got some ground espresso from here for a gift. They only had whole beans packaged but they can grind to your desired level and reseal the bag so it remains fresh. There is more seating in the back that is hidden, and free WiFi. It's a good place to meet with friends or to work. Spacious, well lit, and the music is not too loud. Baked goods look good but I didn't try them.

Great latte (and latte art, instead of Picasso), great dessert and great vibe! Staff are super welcoming and friendly!

Atmosphere and location are great (washroom is a bit weird to access). Coffee flavours are … very interesting and not all of them are a hit. The creamsicle iced coffee is so gross. I’d stick with the regular coffee / latte / flat white / cappuccino.

A fine cozy place for a quick coffee. It might be a bit hard to find a seat bc many people are working here. Also, it can feel a bit uncomfortable if you wanna talk out loud with others since people are working here quietly…

Delicious coffee! Chai tea is my favorite! The service is good and I love the place, it's spacious, nice and very well lit.

Solid espresso, phenomenal tones and coffee done right. On a super warm day, the unbelievable smell of this joint persuaded me to grab an Americano which I could drink all day, dangerously delicious and a fantastic coffee bar.
